In this paper, we propose a new rotation-invariant image retrieval system based on steerable pyramids and the concept of angular alignment across scales. First, we define energy-b...
Color appearance of an object is significantly influenced by the color of the illumination. When the illumination color changes, the color appearance of the object will change acc...
Image texture can arise not only from surface albedo variations (2D texture) but also from surface height variations (3D texture). Since the appearance of 3D texture depends on th...
We present a novel representation for modeling textured
regions subject to smooth variations in orientation and
scale. Utilizing the steerable pyramid of Simoncelli and

Abstract—A visual appearance of natural materials fundamentally depends on illumination conditions, which significantly complicates a real scene analysis. We propose textural fe...
